Often young supporting actresses get nominated because Oscar is never going to give them the trophy but nominates them as a vote of confidence for what they hope is good work down the line (I'm thinking the first nominations of Kate Winslet and Marisa Tomei, or Queen Latifah for "Chicago")jakeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687321925107280139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-37529066486579545142009-04-15T19:43:00.000-04:002009-04-15T19:43:00.000-04:00Thanks, Ken, I'm thinking "Sapphic Signals" or "So...Thanks, Ken, I'm thinking "Sapphic Signals" or "Somewhat Sapphic" might be really good.StinkyLuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765533714740641857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-34678796257573188922009-04-15T08:12:00.000-04:002009-04-15T08:12:00.000-04:00How about "Sapphic Signals"?

Into which group one might place Grayson Hall ("Night of the Iguana"), Estelle Parsons ("Rachel,Rachel") and Cher ("Silkwood") Also maybe Margaret Avery ("The Color Purple") and Vanessa Redgrave ("Julia).

Featuring charter member Maria Ouspenskaya, along with Judi Dench and Ruby Dee. Could also be called "Short, but Sweet" -- except these perfs are rarely "sweet."<br /><br />And don't forget the Internationalistas, the token foreign actresses Middentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829095129849712488noreply@blogger.com
